At Wheatfields Infants’ and Nursery School, our vision is to provide a science curriculum which enables the children to discover the world around them through exploration, so that they have a deeper understanding of the world we live in. We do this through exciting, practical, hands on experiences, which encourage curiosity and questioning. 

Our aim is that these stimulating and challenging experiences help children secure and extend their scientific knowledge and vocabulary.
